About IP Addresses & Network Privacy
WebRTC Results
Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) is used by browsers for audio and video streaming. The browser may surface IP addresses through this channel. Our tool tests for this and classifies the result clearly — a private LAN address is harmless, while a public IP different from your detected address is shown for your awareness.
VPN & Datacenter Detection
By analyzing the Autonomous System Number (ASN) of an IP and normalizing the organization name, we accurately determine if a connection originates from a residential ISP, a known VPN provider such as NordVPN or GlobalProtect, a cloud host like AWS, or a mobile carrier.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is IPv4 vs IPv6?
IPv4 uses a 32-bit address format (e.g., 192.168.1.1). IPv6 uses 128-bit hexadecimal notation, providing enough addresses to support the continued growth of the internet.
Does a VPN hide my IP?
Yes. When you connect through a VPN, this tool will show the IP address of the VPN server rather than your real IP address.
How do I share my IP lookup results?
Search for any IP in the search bar. The URL in your browser updates automatically. Copy and share that link — anyone who opens it will see the same analysis.
